<p>
NodeXL can export graph data from the workbook to a number of file formats that are used by other graph programs, so that you can, for example, create a graph in NodeXL, export it as a <a target="_blank" href="http://graphml.graphdrawing.org/">GraphML</a> file, and then import and view the graph in <a target="_blank" href="http://gephi.org/">Gephi</a>.  The available export formats are shown in the table below.
</p>

        NodeXL will export graph data to a UCINET full matrix DL file that can be imported into the <a target="_blank" href="http://www.analytictech.com/ucinet/">UCINET</a> program.  The file includes edge weights but does not include any other columns on the <a href="../WorkbookTour/Worksheets.htm">Vertices and Edges worksheets</a>.

        <p>
        GraphML supports arbitrary vertex and edge attributes.  When exporting to a GraphML file, NodeXL includes all the columns on the <a href="../WorkbookTour/Worksheets.htm">Vertices and Edges worksheets</a> in the file.
